How do you wax a skateboard?

To take wax off a surfboard you need to leave it in the sun for half an hour, so that the wax melts. You can sometimes simply wipe/scrape it off with a wax comb or a butter knife carefully. To get the last remanants of wax off orange oil works well (with little orange man picture on front). If it was a surfboard you could try a little turps, but i would use turps sparingly on a body board as it coulc eat away at the foam,
